Did somebody saw Horrorfest07?



























Horrorfest is a collection of horror film, view by 1week, that started last year. Now another year is upon us, and new films we be view in theaters, but there's problem. No one is gonna see them, not even the critics. So is up to me, show which were good, all i can say "It was better than last year"





This was my Fav of them all, cause is a mix of Hostel with some Wicker Man. Is like any horror film. The acting from most part have to go to Damian Alcazar as the former detective trying to catch a drug lord, but is the story that drove it to what could be the most strange event of disappearances of the country. Imean the suspense is something that could be made for a budget of 1mill, And the darkness of Sean Astin in the mix, also the shot of Mexico are real one that count , just by showing the building and the people, make me think that their 're director, that know My country well.



This one is produced, by the master of FXmake up, Stan Winton, What i like was the story about this man call Ian that every time he dies, he appear, in another life. In one hes doctor, he dies, now he a hockey player. That how it go. Only problem that i found was about the dark and smoking creature, that kill Ian, every time when he remember. they dont say much of the origin, and how they control the world around them, just they feed out of fear of men. This is a mix of Dark city with Groundhog day, also point out some the death ain't that good , only the torture scene in the hospital, showing the instrument that not even the guys of saw couldn't come up.






With movies showing how the end of the world could come, in many ways. But this one give a different perspective, a world with out gas. So what good about it. The story focusing on the survivors of a hospital been stalk by carnivals. what i like about it was the killing that go on, from a machete in the head, that something that never seen since dawn of the death's the bad ass of Michael Madsen, the only problem was, the story is short, don't show to much background to the characters, and the appearances of madsen was short. I would like him playing the main villain of the story. That could have given more terror to it.

Is been long that i haven't seen a monster movie, the last one was the Korean The host. Now come this one as i like to describe as Alien in the west. The action was fun, and the ways the creature kills, to the explosion of the gas station(was a little exaggerating on the count how the sheriff fly) to the twist that have , when stopping the monster. The bad part come from the special effects, it seem like this movie was made by the Sci fi channel movie of the week. The design of the beast was a cross of a raptor and alien(i to mean the Riddle kind) But overall entertaining.
So those were the one that i like, why i couldn't see the other, well i ain't made of money. with the prices for a ticket, no wonder there's a strike. Horrofest is best way to find the next generation of horror director, i know some of these film look to be made to DVD, but hey see just one and enjoy it, just be sure you're making and ass yer self, when you enter the theater.
See ya on Horrorfes08
